I've seen many give it up along the way, surrender to the temptation of being "normal" to show they could go there and be part of it. They've accepted mysery to be accepted, to have "friends", making sure to remain anti-philosophical to disturb, offend no one; to have no one walking away from them, leaving them behind to follow their ego in pursuit of "happiness".
They've wanted nothing out of the ordinary and predictable under the sun.
Now they can't fly.
